People were already complaining about spoilers, enough so to make another thread. I'm fine with this staying in its current status, but if people are going to use the other thread, this might as well become a spoiler thread.

Interesting description they give Edmure...At this point he is 26-28 years old...In the time depicted that isnt that young. Furthermore that brings up one thing I never liked about the casting of Catalyn Stark. Michelle Fairly who plays Cat in the show is 48. Catalyn stark is like 31-34 in actuality. I know others were cast with massive age differences too...like Sean Bean being 50 and Eddard only being in his 30's too...but somehow Catalyn casting has always bothered me.

Time to dump my verticals. All in spoiler format so it doesn't stretch the page.

In the books Robb is 15, was wounded and being nursed back to health by Jeyne Westerling when he hears about Bran and Rickon, so in a moment of weakness he bangs her and to preserve her honour he marries her. He didn't marry her on a whim, he did it because he thought it was the right thing to do. It was still REALLY stupid but you kind of understood it because of who his father was and how he was raised.

It probably helps the TV guys out to squeeze a couple more episodes out of certain characters...helps market more drama for next season. They really need to film 2 seasons at once so we can get fall and spring seasons. Arya is going to be 30 by the time they finish everything.

“And these particular turtles seemed to die very easily. I don’t think it was really a very good environment for them. Sometimes they would escape and you would find them under the refrigerator a month later, all dead. So my turtles kept dying, which was very distressing but it also made me think, ‘Why are they dying? Well, they are killing each other in sinister plots.’ I started writing this fantasy about who was killing who, and the wars for succession. So Game of Thrones originally began with turtles, I think.”

Halfway through a FFC right now and I'm loving the books. Started re-watching the show too to see if I could pick up on some characters and plot points I might have missed before.

It was funny watching season 1 episode 2 today while Tyrion and Jaime are eating breakfast Jaime says(talking about the recently crippled Bran) "If I'm ever a cripple like that just put me out of my misery" and a little later in the conversation Tryion says something along the line of "I love my family and would never do anything to hurt them."
